Vibrating g-spotting glass: Almost there.

Icicles #4 is a great glass g-spot toy that vibrates with 10 different settings. It is wonderful for glass beginners because of its thin diameter, but anyone would enjoy using this toy. It was a bit on the thin side for me, but others will enjoy all the other wonderful things this toy has to offer.

Pros:

Beautiful, vibrating glass, ten strong settings, can use bullet and dildo together or separately.

This beautiful unique glass toy comes in two parts: the g-spot curved glass dildo, and a bullet attached to a control pack. They can be used together or separately. The bullet easily fits into the handle of the dildo, allowing it to vibrate. It is wonderful for g-spot stimulation and thrusting, although the vibrations are not strong enough when used with the glass to be a particularly strong clitoral vibrator. The bullet can be removed and used individually for this purpose.

This toy is great for beginners and experienced users alike, although if you like your vibrators to offer you a filling sensation when inserted, you may want to look elsewhere. The thin diameter of this toy makes it perfect for first time glass users who may be intimated by thicker glass toys.

The majority of of the Icicles 4 is made out of Pyrex glass. The body of the shaft is clear with a thin pink line swirling gently down. It is raised, but not overly so. The ridges it makes can be felt during use, but not overly so, as with some textured toys, so beginners to texture should be fine with this.

The bullet and control pack are made out of see through pink plastic. There is a lightbulb at the base of the bullet and some metal inside.

The idea behind this toy is really great. You get all the pleasure of a glass toy with the added bonus of vibrations. Where it falls short is in the execution. The bullet on its own is a little on the loud side, but not loud enough to be heard behind closed doors. When the bullet is inserted into the glass, the noise becomes louder, especially if the bullet is not inserted into the loop as far in as it can go.

The glass and the bullet are pretty light weight, probably because of its smaller size. The glass is thin, about an inch in diameter. The tip narrows down to a g-spot point that is less than 1/2 an inch across. The bullet is an inch and a half long and half an inch across. The cord that connects the bullet to the control pack is 22 1/4 inches long, so there is plenty of room to play without the control pack getting in the way.

The control pack fits easily in hand and is not bulky like some other control packs I’ve dealt with. The pack and the bullet are both see-through and you can see the gears working in the bullet when it is turned on, which is pretty cool. The back of the control pack slides off easily to take the three AAA batteries this toy requires. There is also a lightbulb in the bullet which turns on and gets brighter as the intensity increases. It also blinks to the beat of the patterns.

I found the g-spot end of the glass to be a bit thin for my taste. It allowed pinpoint stimulation on my g-spot and this toy would be best for those who enjoy slimmer toys.

The bullet is inserted into the handle of the dildo to cause it to vibrate. It is very important that the bullet is pushed in as far as it can go, or the noise level will increase (due to the bullet rattling against the glass) and the vibrations will not be felt as easily. When inserted, the vibrations are felt most strongly at the base of the shaft, although they can be felt fairly well at the tip as well.

On the control pack there are two buttons. The bottom one is the on/off button and the top one controls the settings. They are fairly easy to press, but I have not had a problem with them changing when I did not want them to.

The bullet has ten vibration settings.
1. Low steady
2. Medium steady
3. High steady
4. Constant pulsing (duh duh duh duh)
5. Long short short short short
6. Scale pattern (goes up and down in intervals of the scale...do re mi fa so la ti do and then back down)
7. Short short pause short short pause (after two beats goes up in intensity similar to the previous pattern)
8. Long long long long (at a high intensity level)
9. Constant pulsing (similar to the 4th setting, but at a higher intensity level)
10. Very fast pulsing at a high intensity level

The vibrations felt from this toy are very buzzy, although they are also strong. If you hold the bullet in your hand too long, your hand might feel numb.

The biggest problem with this toy is that the bullet gets very warm after the first five minutes of playing. A few times the bullet has had a faint burning smell, but it’s never gotten too hot or smelled for longer than a few minutes.

The toy comes in a cardboard box with the name and picture of the product on the front. There is a flap that opens up to display the toy laying inside. The underside of the flap describes the toy and how to care for it. This panel is repeated exactly on the back of the package. The sides of the package display pictures of the toy as well. It is not discreet, but it is not trashy either. I think that it would be considered nice enough to give as a gift, as the toy looks pretty on the box and inside.

The box is well made, so it would be okay to use for storage. Inside the box, the toy lays in a thick bed of styrofoam, so if you did not have a pouch for your toy, it would remain protected in its box.

I wanted a lot to love this toy. It is beautiful and really cool. However, it was just too thin for me. It's great for a warm up toy, but because of the size, it doesn’t get me off very well. I need penetration to orgasm and this toy was too thin for my liking. This means it will be perfect for people who can’t handle much size or who want a thin high quality g-spot toy. The g-spotter worked wonderfully and the vibrations were excellent. I’m sure many people will find this to be a great toy, especially as a beginner’s foray into glass.

Follow-up commentaryI don't like it anymore5 months after original review

I don't use this toy any more for a number of reasons. The diameter is just too thin for me and the bullet, while strong, heats up and gets too hot too quickly. It might get used more often together if the bullet didn't heat up, but that's too much of a deal breaker for me. As a dildo, the glass is still beautiful and would be perfect for a beginner.
